Our Story

 

Decoding Dyslexia CA consists of families who have children with dyslexia, educators, and other vested members in our communities who are passionate about addressing dyslexia. We offer families and educators the benefit of our collective experiences. We encourage families to connect, share their children’s stories, and meet with their schools and elected officials to ask for policies and legislation to identify and support children who struggle with literacy, including those with dyslexia.

Dyslexia does not discriminate based on ethnicity, gender, intelligence, or socioeconomic background. However, DDCA recognizes that educational inequities exist that can create significant barriers for children of color, English Learners, and children with disadvantaged socioeconomic status in our CA public schools. 

DDCA does not tolerate racism or discrimination and passionately believes literacy is a civil right.

In 4 years our movement grew to 50 states with Decoding Dyslexia Chapters.
